Disney World Resort: Gourmet and Casual Restaurants

It’s time to be an adult for a tiny bit. You’ve spent way too much time in the parks and you need to reset…Says nobody! However maybe some high class gourmet food and ambience is calling out for your name? Or you and the family want to change it up with a casual evening, great food and a glass of your favourite wine? Whatever your preference Walt Disney World Resorts have lots of character and plenty of choice. 

Gourmet and Casual Restaurants at the various Disney World Resort’s are open for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This can be upto all three meal times or vary with each restaurant. Drinks on offer include featured or speciality beverages along with standard options. Most venues are accessible but please check with the restaurant beforehand for actual facilities. Each has it’s on theme which usually reflects within the menu offerings.

For general ‘real-time’ resort and accessibility information simply contact your travel provider or call customer service on (407) 939-4357.

The guide below highlights what I feel is the most important information.  I know…I feel too much.

I’ve included food example table’s where needed to demonstrate the types of meals or snacks served in different restaurants. There are also links to Disney World Resorts full menu’s. Drink example’s are specific to each restaurant and highlight speciality or featured beverages. I’ve also included some drinks I feel should be highlighted to give a fuller overview of what’s available.

Yummy, yummy in my tummy…

Conclusion

Disney’s World Resort Gourmet and Casual Restaurants are classed as fine dining or casual service. They are themed uniquely with menu offerings that reflect this.

All the restaurants in this guide welcome families but understand with fine dining (and having young children myself) the atmosphere is heightened when everyone is on their best behaviour. I don’t know how to say that without coming across rude. But i tried my best! The food is some of the best you will find in Florida. Dietary needs can also be met. I’m vegan free… I have no idea what that actually means… do I eat meat? Or don’t I? I don’t even know. It’s my article i can write what I want. It’s also Wednesday… … … Moving on…

You can use Dining plans at these restaurants. This is not the case at the Dolphin and Swan Resorts. Always make sure you check before hand in any case.

I hope this has helped.

Don’t forget to check out more BluGenieBlogger articles such as the ones below.

As always have fun.

See You Real Soon.
